MICHAEL J. SENG, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF Nos. 5 & 8.) The action proceeds against Defendants Benevidez, Gamboa, and Overley on Plaintiff's Eighth Amendment conditions of confinement claim. (ECF No. 9.)
Before the Court are Plaintiff's June 9, 2014 motion to subpoena witnesses (ECF No. 57) and motion to submit evidence (ECF No. 58).
Plaintiff has moved to identify the witnesses he intends to call at trial. (ECF No. 57.)
Trial in this case is not yet scheduled. The Court soon will issue a second scheduling order that sets a trial date and advises Plaintiff of the procedures for obtaining the attendance of witnesses at trial. Plaintiff's motion to subpoena witnesses will be denied without prejudice to Plaintiff bringing a motion in conformance with the requirements set out in the second scheduling order.
Plaintiff seeks to introduce additional evidence to support his complaint. (ECF No. 58.)
Plaintiff is advised that the court cannot serve as a repository for the parties' evidence (i.e., prison or medical records, affidavits, etc.). The parties may not file evidence with the court until the course of litigation brings the evidence into question (for example, on a motion for summary judgment, at trial, or when requested by the court). Presently, no motions for summary judgment are before the Court, and no trial date has been set. Therefore, Plaintiff's motion to submit evidence will be denied.
Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:
IT IS SO ORDERED.
